About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family- making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also have a 15 year old daughter who is a pet whisperer. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work as a photographer and spend a lot of time working from home when I’m not at sessions. That flexibility allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention. I make sure they have fresh water at all times and follow the owner’s feeding schedule closely. I also have a fenced in backyard.
